  • Hi @jsepeta,

    These files look like legitimate font files that could be part of the Metropolis theme. Another possibility is that there’s another plugin or theme involved, or possibly custom code from your host if they have managed WordPress. Have you had anyone working on the site lately, or installed any new plugins or themes?

    Another thing to note is that these files will disappear the next time WordPress is updated. Since wp-includes is a core folder, it’s recommended that you use wp-content for file uploads such as adding additional fonts. If these font files were manually installed, you may want to consider moving them into wp-content so Wordfence isn’t alerting for the presence of non-core files, and the files aren’t removed when WordPress is updated.
